Salem

My story

WE ARE A TX-BASED RESCUE. THIS DOG IS CURRENTLY LOCATED IN TX AND WILL BE TRANSPORTED UPON ADOPTION. Please fill out an adoption application at haydudeequine.org 🐾 Meet Salem 🐾 Age: 20 months Weight: 120 lbs (all love… and a little bit of mischief) Breed: Great Dane Meet Salem — the equally supersized brother to Nash. At just under 2 years old, this gentle giant has the same sweet soul, goofy charm, and couch-hogging tendencies as his sibling. And just like Nash, Salem is still growing — maybe not taller, but filling out into that classic “majestic and in all his glory” Great Dane shape. Salem and Nash came to the shelter together when their owners faced serious health challenges. Through it all, Salem has remained the friendly, good-natured big guy everyone falls for in about 3 seconds flat. He’s great with other dogs, kind with adults and kids, and ready to learn all the things no one had a chance to teach him before — like how to walk politely on a leash. Right now, strolls with Salem are part workout, part comedy sketch, but his eager-to-please nature makes him a quick study. 💡 Fun Fact: Salem has perfected the “lean” — that classic Great Dane move where 120 pounds of love casually rests against you like you’re the only thing keeping him upright. Warning: your heart may melt instantly. Salem’s Perks: - Good with dogs and people of all ages - Housetrained - Up-to-date on vaccines - Moderate energy — happy to join for a walk, then settle in for a movie marathon - Big sweetheart who will guard your snacks but also share your popcorn (probably) Salem is currently at a neighboring rescue, but we’ll gladly welcome him into Hay Dude Rescue to complete his adoption. He’s ready to be your oversized best friend, professional snuggler, and occasional personal space invader. If you’ve got a soft spot for big, goofy boys and a heart big enough for him to snuggle right in, Salem could be your next BFF. Apply today at haydudeequine.org.

If you have any questions or would like to adopt Salem, please reach out to the adoption group directly. PetSmart Charities does not facilitate the adoption process. Thank you.
